Key Differentiators
- Lower voltage operation (1.35V) compared to standard DDR3 (vs MT41K256M16TG-125)
- Higher data rate (1600 MT/s) than the -15E variant (vs MT41K256M16RE-15E:D)
- Same package and pinout as other Micron 4Gb DDR3L parts (vs MT41K256M16HA-125:E)
Design Notes
Ensure a stable 1.35V supply with low ripple. Use a dedicated voltage regulator for VDD and VDDQ, and place 0.1uF and 1uF decoupling capacitors close to each power pin. The VREF should be generated from a precision divider and bypassed with 0.1uF capacitor.
Follow the layout guidelines in the Micron datasheet for DDR3L routing. Maintain controlled impedance for DQ, DQS, and address/command lines. Keep trace lengths matched within 50 mils for each byte lane. Use ground planes to minimize noise and ensure proper signal integrity.
The FBGA-96 package has a thermal resistance of approximately 20C/W. For high-temperature environments, ensure adequate airflow or a heatsink. The maximum operating temperature is 95C, so calculate the power dissipation and verify the junction temperature stays within limits.
Compliance Information
RoHS compliant and lead-free per datasheet. Other compliance details not specified in the provided data.
